First of all - yum! I scaled down the recipe quite a bit - yielding exactly 12 rolls. I followed the measuring instructions of another reviewer who scaled it down as well, turned out fabulous. The only thing I did different was that I used butter in the place of shortening. I added a little more melted butter than the scaled down recipe originally called for (instead of 1/4 cup, I used about a 1/2 cup). Very easy to make if you are willing to take the time - well worth all the effort it takes! I baked them exactly 20 mins and as soon as I took them out of the oven, I brushed the tops of them with melted butter - amazing!!!

Woohoo! These are wonderful. I changed the servings to 10, followed the recipe exactly other than using my KA , and made large sandwich type rolls which turned out perfectly These are exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the recipe!

If you're looking for a nice, fluffy dinner roll, this is NOT the recipe for you. These are dense, and shockingly bland But oddly, the taste grows on you after that first bite... I think this might be better toasted, after being made in a loaf perhaps...

These were very good. Soft and a great taste! The only problem I had was getting them to brown. Next time I will add an egg wash to the tops to get them to brown. For some reason the oil on top did not do the job. A very good recipe indeed and will be a keeper.

I made these today for Thankgiving dinner. I wish I hadn't. They were very "heavy". Not fluffy at all. Not a very good taste. Will not make again.

I'm giving this 3 stars only because I scaled the recipe down and therefore the problem might have been my own mistake, but since I have scaled many recipes down, I doubt it. These rolls were bland and boring, they had absolutely no taste. They were also not light and fluffy like I think rolls should be, they would be good with Chile or stew to sop up some of the liquid. But unless I use it that way, I won't be making these again.

These. were. AWESOME! I scaled it down, used butter instead of shortening and even added some whole wheat flour in place of all-purpose..and it still turned out. I have always had problems trying to add WW flour. But this one was awesome! So, if you consider my alterations as still abiding by this recipe...I say 5 stars, this recipe rocks!

scaled this down to a fourt. used 2 tsp of yeast. 1 1/2 cups water,1/8 cup sugar, 1/4 cup shortening. 1/2 tsp salt. and 3 1/2 cups flour. if it's too sticky just add in a little more so it's workable. i added the water to my stand mixer and sprinkled in all the yeast and sugar and proofed for 10 min. till foamy. then added shortening and flour and mixed till incorporated. let that sit for 20 min. then added in salt and kneaded till smooth. followed the rest of the instructions as written. yum
